Great job from the Alex gang,
Keep us posted with the latest updates, these can serve as extra guidelines for similar projects with other bodies.
Tuesday
Next session will be held on Tuesday isa, DW will do the Mandrake installation in details + (??) dunno exactly what..
Try to keep it simple ya Sherif ;)
+ desktop usage?
May be after u finish the installation u can show them that in Linux we have allternative desktop environments: KDE, Gnome, etc.
also the concept of virtual desktops needs to be explained
the mandrake menu has the applications clasified according to their tasks (office apps, internet apps --> web browsers, etc.) not according to vendors as in Window$ ( Adobe, Netscape, etc.)
thx for notes :)
ya sure we will do that should be next day installtion the day after is KDE/GNOME and the common APPS the day after Mandrake control center and some command line and last 2 hours any question thay want to ask will be answer insh2allha ;)
peace

I believe you should keep stressing on the independence and freedom issue all along, they'll be much for this idea, it will gain good ground I know that.
There is no a development basics start ?

linux user:31
No users to begin with !!
mina_linux_tux sure you're a member & you're all welcome to join us in all activites, but how come we do a development course, when no one in Alex uses linux at the first place ?!?! I think it's just not reasonable.
Anyway, if you have the audience then why not !
there r some i don't have an
there r some i don't have any versoin of windows but i sometimes run it on bochs and sometimes on qemu which is really better than bochs and BTW i've created a win98 live cd to use when i need to test some apps or so.
win98 livecd?
If this is not based on a linux core, then you are smoking crack.

For sure.
We will have courses at el sakia . and it will be announced soon . so try to connect to el sakia and ask about booking.
the GNU/Linux beginners courses is so similar in content . and I think Cairo volunteers have experience to give you proper courses.
If you are interested call el Sakia.
